GHC keys offer an acoustic-piano-like feel
Play a few notes on the P-143 digital piano, and you’ll find it has a delightful, nuanced feel. Yamaha has a long and storied history of developing acoustic and digital pianos that inspire players, and the P-143 is more of the same. This GHC (Graded Hammer Compact) keyboard replicates the praised keyboard of previous P Series pianos, but with a more compact design. These keys are up to the task of beginner classics, contemporary pop songs, and more, thanks to their consistent accuracy, graded weight, and realistic sound production.
Imbued with the sound of Yamaha’s CFIIIS grand
Ready to keep you inspired for years to come, the Yamaha P-143 offers users the sound of a full grand piano: the CFIIIS. The sampled sound exudes a bright, transparent tone and spacious treble encompassed with a solid sonic feel. This slim digital piano also offers a damper resonance function, reproducing the same sonic qualities as a damper pedal on a genuine acoustic piano for an even fuller sound. While the P-143 has many attributes passed down from its acoustic counterparts, it goes without saying this piano won’t need tuning!
All the features you want, none you don’t
Yamaha gives you the power to practice anytime, anywhere. With its stylish design and economical size, the P-143 can fit in any room and can even travel with you when you’re on the go. The most compact member of the P Series, this digital piano will add a delightful personality to any room. An optional soft case gives you peace of mind during transportation, and a weight of less than 25 pounds keeps it compact. Rather than integrate a touch panel, Yamaha kept the interface straightforward and opted for a set of tangible controls that anyone can use and navigate. Plus, the built-in 7-watt speakers in the back of the P-143 deliver well-balanced sound wherever you go. Want to keep the volume down? Plug into the headphone jack for silent practice. Sweetwater tip: this is an excellent feature for apartment living! Lastly, for those wanting to record and share their practice and performances, Yamaha thought of that, too. Given the Rec’n’Share function, you can simply connect your smart device via cable to the instrument and share to platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, and more!

Like many of Yamaha’s digital pianos, the P-143 can open up an exciting world of expanded digital features when you connect it to the Smart Pianist app. Using your digital piano and the Smart Pianist app on a smart device, you can access educational tools like piano lesson pieces.
